The deepest oil well ever drilled is the Z-44 Chayvo Well in Russia, which reached a depth of 40,502 feet (12,345 meters) in 2011.
The deepest oil well in Oklahoma is the Vrana 1-32H well, which has a total depth of around 19,000 feet. This well was drilled in the Anadarko Basin in western Oklahoma.
The GHK Co. 1-27 Bertha Rogers hole or well was an oil-exploratory hole drilled in Washita County, Oklahoma in 1974, and was formerly the world's deepest hole until surpassed by the Kola Superdeep Borehole, dug by the former USSR.It took GHK two years to reach 31,441 feet (9,583 m), a depth of almost six miles. During drilling, the well encountered enormous pressure - almost 25,000 psi (172,369 kPa). No commercial hydrocarbons were found before drilling hit a molten sulfur deposit (which melted the drill bit), and the well was plugged and abandoned.[1]
The Z-44 Chayvo well in Russia holds the record as the deepest oil well in the world, reaching a depth of around 40,000 feet (12,210 meters). It was drilled by Exxon Neftegas Limited in 2011.
An oil well is usually drilled into underground rock formations, such as sedimentary rock, where oil is trapped. The well is drilled deep into the earth to reach the oil reservoir and then oil is pumped to the surface for extraction.
An oil well is usually drilled into underground rock formations known as reservoirs that contain oil and natural gas deposits. The well is drilled through layers of earth until it reaches these reservoirs, which can be located several thousand feet below the surface.

The first successful oil well was drilled in Titusville, Pennsylvania!
the first time an oil well was drilled in 1853 in Poland
In 1866, Lyne T. Barret drilled Texas' first oil producing well. This well was drilled at Melrose in Nacogdoches County.
It was done by the University of OK and was drilled by Parker drilling using Rig 166 which is now owned by Unit Drilling. This rig went to Kallispell, Montana afterward. The name of the well is: GHK Bertha Rogers #1-27
To find oil....
The first oil well drilled in Yemen was in Tihama region - Hodeidah city in 1961.
Edwin Drake drilled the first oil well in 1859 near Titusville, P.A.
The first gas well was drilled in Canada in 1883
